What kind of beers can I brew?

While it is possible to brew almost any style of beer at home, ales are the easiest. Lagers are not really harder to brew, but since they take an extended period of cold, temperature-controlled fermentation, the investment in equipment and space is much higher. That is not to say that you can’t make a light tasting beer, you’d just make it as an ale rather than a true lager. Only an experienced beer expert could tell the difference.
